The only difference between hydrocodone 5-500mg and hydrocodone 5-325mg is that the latter preparation contains less acetaminophen (APAP). The first number in each is the dose of hydrocodone, while the second number is the dose of APAP. The primary ingredient in the pills is hydrocodone, while the APAP is added primarily to discourage abuse (though officially, it is stated to be for synergistic pain relief). APAP is the same ingredient as in Tylenol, and it is very toxic to the liver in overdose. The maximum dose of APAP per day is 4000mg. Therefore, the pill with less APAP is better if one is taking many of these pills for pain relief.

Yes, but it is really pointless because methadone has opiate blocking properties and will block the effects of the hydrocodone. When I was on methadone, I had a root canal and got vicodin (hydrocodone) and they did absolutley nothing because of the methadone. Methadone does help with pain though.

Each opiate is different. Sometimes people take hydrocodone and they get sick to their stomach, but they don't when it comes to oxycodone. and vice-versa. It always depends from individual to indiviual. Oxycodone is more potent than than hydrocdone, but they're are people out there that don't get as many side-effects from hydrocodone.
